another easy question

Hi, sorry I'm still trying to figure solid works out and have run into another problem that seems so easy to solve but its not working

anyways what I have is a 3d sketch made of a circle (the profile), a straight line (the path) and also a guide curve made from a sketch. I'm trying to sweep this, but for some reason solid works isn't letting me select both the guide curve and path at the same time. Say I select the path first, and then select my guide curve, the selected path dissapears - if that makes any sense

If you want to visualise what I have its exactly the same as the sketch on the page 'Recommendations for sweeps with
Guide Curves' in the help file.

Thanks

Hello,

Select your path and profile sketches and click sweep, and you'll then have an option to select the guide curve. I hope this helps!

Warm regards,
Lisa B.
